Thanks for convincing me that this is actually possible to do.

SPECIAL THANKS

Thank you for the menu code, xeroblood. I think tons of scripters have used your code in their plugins, it's great!

Too bad I can't test it yet, but glad you released it =]

Re: Chat Mute
 

Good Idea. Testing it right now and works.
But one question, when i say /mute to all ingame, nothing happens.
amx_mutemenu works, but in the console it says "Unknown Command", but the menu opens =/

Re: Chat Mute - 07/30/07
 

What about already created amx_gag (amx_super plugin)? That has options to mute not only chat, but voice also (but i've found that voice blocking doesn't work)

Re: Chat Mute - 07/30/07
 

This plugin is different!
When you gag an player he can't chat at all!

Re: Chat Mute - 07/30/07
 

this is you cage yourself
gag is you cage him

Re: Chat Mute - 07/30/07
 

And as a reminder, gag is generally NOT open for use by the public.
Imagine ANYONE in your server being able to take away the ability of another player to chat/teamchat/use mic.

With this people can more effectively ignore others. So it's very useful for eg. when admins aren't around, when players are having a disagreement and one won't stop while the other just has enough of it and wants to keep playing undisturbed, that sorta thing.

I mean, you must have seen it a lot online, people getting into discussions and both wanting to have the last word, they just keep going at it, at that time you just want to not see any text of either players at all, right?

EDIT: And the usage of mic by specific players is accounted for by the built-in mute function of the game or by use of the already existing Mute Menu plugin.

Better name is Chat Ignore, imho. Muting is associating with muting yourself or muting anyone by admin.

Anyway, useful tool for clients.

Re: Chat Mute - 07/30/07
 

After i died and used my say chat alive players could read it aswell, i'm using version 1.2 now and disabled the say_team function and everything seems to work with that modification. Only disabling the say chat is maybe already enoug but it would be great to block also the say_team chat.

Re: Chat Mute - 07/30/07
 

I fixed that issue in V1.4, Maurice. However, I'm not sure how spectator's chat should work. When a spectator chats, can dead players AND alive players both see his chat?
